Because you do not get the feel that you get by reading a hardcopy of the book. A hardcopy is expensive, and also the world is getting digital so that calls for a new digital book reader. But don’t we have “Kindle” for that! Let’s wait for the next slide.

The truth is KINDLE SUCKS. Why so?

The truth is KINDLE SUCKS. Why so? Those who have used Kindle would know.

The truth is KINDLE SUCKS. Why so? Those who have used Kindle would know. Rough scrolling, zooming. The screen flashes every time you turn a page or zoom, and no it is not smooth. You would not like to go 2 page backwards to read it again. But for technical books we have to, as we get the diagram here and its description two pages later.

It is very small and you cannot make notes over it (I like to do it very much over a hardcopy).

Otherwise hardcopy is only remaining option(available now) and we are not considering it. Also it does not support colors.

What is the Solution ?

What is the Solution ? We need to trace the solution from ancient time.

What is the Solution ? We need to trace the solution from ancient time. People used to write a book over leaves using ink. As time progressed, we still have books written over papers. The same format as previous one. This implies that we cannot remove that idea. This is the only way to read and write books. A laptop or a Kindle would not solve that. We need to think of something similar.

Does Kindle have nothing good about it? No, I did not say that. Kindle does have some positive points: It has a long battery life. It is light weight It is very relaxing to eyes. We need to have these qualities in our proposed device too.

Not yet. Before I tell my proposal, we need to know what do the people want? http://www.tech2date.com/5- features-we-hope-to-see-in- future-e-book-readers.html

X-READER

X-READER What I propose is simple. I propose a new type of ebook reader.

X-READER What I propose is simple. I propose a new type of ebook reader. Why call it “X-Reader”? Because I am an engineer and could not think of any other name so I considered it to be “x”.

What is this? The idea stolen from Coil Bindings of books. This cylinder would help in rotation of pages and would have enough space to contain all technical stuffs. I will be tackling all the technical questions one by one. But it is certainly possible that I might to fail to do so for some questions. A flexible display!

How would you achieve 1000 pages of a book with only 16 pages?

How would you achieve 1000 pages of a book with only 16 pages? Well we can use some tricks to do so.

How would you achieve 1000 pages of a book with only 16 pages? Well we can use some tricks to do so. Like when a user turns 5 pages at once we can increase page number by 20. For 6 pages by 50, for 8 pages we can increase it by half of remaining pages and so on. This way we would able to complete the absence of 1000 pages.

Remember when we turn many pages in a real book, we too are not sure that at what page we would land. Same thing is here.

Also it would have a option to scroll the pages of a book using a side scroll bar and all the displays would synchronize accordingly.

Isn’t it a tablet?

Isn’t it a tablet? No it is not.

Isn’t it a tablet? No it is not. A tablet has its mass distributed about all the screen while in this case it is centered at a cylinder.

Use of flexible displays would help people being comfortable with it. They can put their weight on it (by that I mean one can keep their hands on it while writing something.)

Use of flexible displays would help people being comfortable with it. They can put their weight on it (by that I mean one can keep their hands on it while writing something.) You would be able to read more than one book at a time by distributing the books across different displays. That would really ease making notes from various books.

We can also add some functionalities of a tablet like a google search or simply a browser.

Some questions and their answers. Is flexible display possible and how efficient is it? You can know about flexible displays from this video- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mo6nF-T58PA

Some questions and their answers. Is flexible display possible and how efficient is it? You can know about flexible displays from this video- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mo6nF-T58PA Does this product have any limitations? Yes, it has some. First of all I am not sure about battery life. Though this product would not have two many background apps but still displaying so many pages can effect battery. Second, it might turn out to be expensive. Third, I don’t know if it is even possible to create something like this.

Well you can gift a digital book to someone which would have some lovely animations hidden inside it.
